Xbox LIVE Arcade Gamers Get the Chance to
Relive the Arcade Classic

SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA of Europe Ltd.

game. Players will be able to revisit the Virtual On universe with several
enhancements which include improved graphics and online multiplayer. Cyber

on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft®.

Developed by SEGA’s AM3 division, famous for
titles such as Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis, Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio
Tangram™ is based on the latest arcade version of the second game in the
franchise, which is critically acclaimed and widely considered to be the best in
the series. Players will square off against an AI or human opponent as they
dodge, shoot, and slice their way to victory in one of the game’s many
futuristic environments. Since the Virtuaroids dash with such quick movement,
players are required to diversify their tactics, all while keeping a keen eye
and quick trigger finger.

Available for the first time on Xbox LIVE®,
Virtual On features high-octane mech action with 15 playable Virtuaroids.
Players can choose how they want to play as each mech has its own defining
characteristics. The game delivers an online 1 vs. 1 multiplayer battle mode, as
well as fast-paced single player action through 10 Arcade-mode levels and 14
Score attack stages. Virtual On features numerous ways to earn achievements as
well as voice communication.
